50 Years of Audio Expertise, Seamless Omnichannel

HOBO hifi is the largest independent hifi specialist in the Netherlands. With five locations, a dedicated service point, and a webshop, they serve audiophile customers who do not want to choose between online convenience and personal advice—they want both. The platform had to deliver on that promise.

HOBO hifi’s customers are not just shoppers. They are people who know what they want, are willing to invest, and go through a purchasing process that starts with orientation, moves through in-store demonstrations, and ends with home installation. A platform that does not support that journey costs revenue and customers.

Younify has completely redeveloped HOBO hifi’s digital environment on Magento 2 with Hyvä, with omnichannel integration as the foundation. The webshop is no longer a standalone channel but the digital heart of a system that connects all five locations and the central service point.

KEY ACTIVITIES

Hyvä Implementation & Performance

The entire frontend was rebuilt with Hyvä. Faster loading times, better Core Web Vitals, and an experience that fits the premium character of HOBO hifi.

Omnichannel Integration

The webshop, stores, and the pickup warehouse in Waardenburg are seamlessly connected: real-time stock per location, click-and-collect, and appointment options for installation.

High-Value UX & Trust

For products with a purchase price of hundreds to thousands of euros, trust is the conversion driver. We specifically designed the UX for high-consideration purchases: extensive specs, comparison tools, and clear service information.

Product Catalog & Specs

The entire product catalog has been restructured with detailed technical specifications, filter options per category (amplifiers, speakers, turntables), and comparison functionality.

Advice & Content Architecture

A content structure that guides customers from orientation to purchase: product guides, brand pages, demonstration videos, and blog content that strengthens HOBO hifi’s position as an expert.

Hosting & Uptime

High-performance hosting with automatic scaling, optimized cache layers, and a robust infrastructure for a platform that thousands of customers rely on daily.
